Like beeurd said, alcohol is a depressent. That's why you see some people, when they get drunk, just start bawling about any problem. It's also why some Japanese say that sake tastes bitter if you have a guilty mind, but sweet when you dont. Because most depressents bring back guilt and what not.

Uh depending on what you're smoking, that has different neurological effects.

Anywho if you think things are bad, which you probably do, and that they can't get any worse, its only because you lack sufficient imagination. It seems to me you're focusing too much on the negatives.

It's all in the brain chemistry, as GI (I think it was GI, too lazy to look) said. It's not really anything about the act of drinking/smoking/snorting/whatevering, it's just the way it screws with the dopamine and norepinehrine in your head.

There are other things you can do besides drugs to get the upper effect, like exersize, chocolate, caffiene, playing with puppies, lol. All of those things have been shown to have the same sort of neurochemical changes.

The problem with the drugs is they can lead to permanent changes in your neurochemistry with repeated use, the harder ones can do it even after one or two hits, that can cause clinical depression. Weed is really bad for causing long term depression too, and the more you smoke, the stronger and longer the depression. I believe I heard the statistic somewhere that it only takes like 10 joints.

Things get bad occasionally, but It wasn't that I thought they couldn't get worse. I've only had an extremely bad day once, and when I'm down I always try to think things could be worse.

I just have my moments went sith just hits the fan, and everything sucks. Kind of a little cycle lol, last night I just felt like actually doing something about it.
